Upgrade Your Workflow with a Custom Package

by Heather Turner

You might think that writing packages is only for R pros. But creating a
custom package is a good way for anyone to formalise their workflow and
if you can write an R function you can do it! This workshop will set you
up to start using custom packages in your work and hobby projects.

Attendees should bring a laptop with the latest versions of
R and
RStudio
installed and questions about CRAN and packages :).
